Icons & Social (new Email Composer) Beta

The icon content block makes it more convenient to use text and images together, offering a cohesive way to enhance your designs. Icons serve as small, expressive elements that can accentuate your content, making the layout more interactive and visually appealing. Icons can replace or accompany traditional bullet points for a more visually compelling list.

The social content block provides your recipients with links to your social channels.
